Vince Carter joins Tracy McGrady for Monday Night Football as Raptors make history with huge announcement

Just a couple of cousins ​​enjoying some football. And Bills Mafia is making the most of it. NBA cousins ​​Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady were at Bills Stadium in New York to enjoy Monday Night Football. The Buffalo Bills were playing the Jacksonville Jaguars shortly after the Toronto Raptors dropped some big news. Vinsanity and T-Mac were wearing matching Bills colors, which brought the home crowd to a frenzy. And guess what, the NBA legends were in frenzy too, because as I write this, the Bills were up 40-10.

Although they both hail from Florida and were teammates on the Toronto Raptors, the Bills had their loyalties. They had “Bills Ownership Guest” passes over their Bills sweatshirts.

Before the game, they hung out with Josh Allen and Von Miller on the field. They later joined pro soccer player Jozy Altidore, who spent most of his career with Toronto FC, for the rest of the game. It seems that Toronto was punished in this game. They were seen celebrating when the Bills won 47-10.

It’s extra special to have Vince Carter here. The 8x All Star and series poster boy finally gets his due in one fell swoop. He’s the headliner for the class of 2024 that will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.

McGrady, a member of the HoF since 2017, would never pass up the opportunity. Certainly not the induction into the Hall of Fame, as Carter confirmed he asked his cousin to induct him.

“I can confirm that T-Mac (Tracy McGrady) will be there. He’s one of the guys I asked, and he was like, ‘Yeah, I was waiting for you to call me!’‘” Carter said. And McCrady better mark his calendar for a few other big days.

Tracy McGrady to headline Vince Carter Festival

Tracy McGrady has long maintained that his cousin should have been a HoFer whose number was already in the tower. He’s finally getting his way. While they were enjoying football, the Raptors made a big announcement: they are retiring Vince Carter’s #15 this year.

The Raptors have set the date for November 2, 2024, during a game against the Sacramento Kings. The event coincides with the Raptors’ 30th anniversary in the NBA and will be their first jersey to be retired. Kyle Lowry’s No. 7 is expected to be the next jersey to be retired.

McGrady began his career with the Raptors in 1997, with Carter joining the following year. They were teammates until McGrady left for Orlando in 2000. Fans predict T-Mac’s #1 will soon follow.

Along with the Raptors, the Nets announced they will be retiring Carter’s #15 soon, too. They’ve picked January 25th as their host for the Miami Heat. That’s three speeches T-Mac has to write.
